Labor MP Matt Thistlethwaite (as someone with a strong lisp, saying his name in commentary always needs some extra practice) was asked about the $96m BoM website upgrade and said:

I think that that cost blowout is ridiculous. And that’s why Murray Watt has launched an investigation to try and find out how this has occurred. The BOM website is pretty important. I use it regularly to see what’s going on with the surf and where the good swells are going to be. But more importantly, farmers use it on a daily basis to run their businesses. So, it is an important piece of government infrastructure. And that cost blowout is ridiculous and simply unacceptable.
